Thanks Larry. I have found M83 to be a tough target for some reason. So I am happy with this. I am sure I could get a better one from my dark site with this scope but as is this is doing well

Otherwise good image. I'm surprised though that there isn't more of a halo.

Thanks Cam. I fixed the donut (lots of flats instead of using the same ones too long I think) and upped the halo a tad. There was more in the luminance showing the hidden spiral arm up top right and lower left.
This is from semi rural skies so the halo will be brought up more with more exposure time over the months and also if I move my scope to darker skies.

I'll post an inverse stretched image later.

Greg.
